Look out for the dogs,
Look out for the workers who do evil
Look out for those who make incisions
For we are the circumcision,
-those who worship by the Spirit of God,
and boast in Christ Jesus
and have no confidence in the flesh.
Although I myself also have confidence in the flesh:
if someone thinks they have confidence in the flesh
I have even more…
Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
St Ignatius
